Advanced Improvement Camps

Through this way, Mount Cain would love to inform everyone that we are in collaboration with Section 8 Snowsport Institute offering a 2 day Section 8's Science Friction Camp. (Ed. note: Erik has a rather Dutch way to his language. It's delightful).

Section 8's Science Friction camps are designed for people who want to improve not only their skiing, but also their understanding of skiing. A better understanding of why we need to make a particular move at a given moment, means changes to your technique are more likely to become hard wired and integrated into your skiing. Without that understanding it is very easy for results to fade away over time.

As well as looking at the technical aspects of your skiing, we will also look at how we can develop tactics to deal with Mount Cain's varied terrain; why we choose to turn where we do, and could we make better decisions about our speed, line, and turn shape?

On these 2 day camps, you will make changes to your skiing that enable you to better carve up the groomers, slay the bumps and shred the pow and steeps. There's plenty of skiing, and plenty of fun, guaranteed!

The dates of the camps are:

January 6 and 7, 2018 (woman's camp);

March 10 and 11 (women's camp);and

February 17 and 18 for everyone.
